OUR government has informed us many times that we are currently £100m. in debt. After the Budget debate Deputy Soulsby said: ‘We are in a £100m. worse position than we were this time last year and the States have decided not to do anything about it’. The first thing that comes to mind is if we have a £100m. debt that was accumulated over the last 12 months, we must have been debt-free 12 months ago. We know we were not, and this massive amount of money we are in debt for has been climbing for years, but has accelerated over the past 12 months.
